This belongs on the world stage of an appreciative audience not the ignorant and rather dull tv show presenters. Well done to all performers. Such amazing talent!!!!!

[@pangpengmaster]

I adore jazz musician on sax. But when saxophone players play classics well, you know they're no joke.

[@annerebeccanormil5141]

actually i use to play the alto sax for 5 years and this made me sad, they were basically playing the same 3 quarter notes except at the end

[@hockeynguyen]

Queen_Beckk GOLD That’s the unfortunate nature of classical musical with a lot of background parts playing essentially playing the same rhythms/notes as a support for the main melodies. But you still have to appreciate the evenness of the fingers, the double tonguing, circular breathing, dynamic contrast as individuals and an ensemble, the interval jumps, the rhythmic security and technique achieved by all, musical phrasing, and the ability to properly incorporate vibrato relevant to be piece, all while keeping individual time without a director. Playing music comes down to more than what is written on the page, it comes to the individual interpretation of the piece and the mastery achieved by each player and their own feelings into it. Many of the techniques achieved in these piece I doubt you could replicate with your 5 years of experience. Unless you are a saxophone prodigy and have achieved most of these techniques through constant practice then good for you but I guarantee you would probably not be able to replicate this piece to the musicality and technicality shown in this video. But hey that’s just my opinion.

[@annerebeccanormil5141]

@@hockeynguyen I agree with your comment and im not saying that im better than them they are professionals. I said i was sad... I use to play jazz , rock, metal, i use to play really fast we did some classic but it was remix , yess we did some crescendo, decrescendo, some subito piano,etc nothing special here. Maybe its true if i was told to play this song i wouldn't sound as good but if they had to play some song i did they wouldn't be able to. expect if they can play faster than how the soprano was playing. Anyways i respect what they do like i said i just wish they had played it with maybe a faster tempo or maybe if it wasnt only thw soprano who had the melodie.thw alto or tenor could have it too and maybe even the baritone. Anyways have a great day and keep up the good work !( english is not my first language frech is . I understand english perfectly but i might have done some spelling mistakes don't pay attention to that please)

[@jjy135]

That doesn't make any sense. Classical has many fundamentals that can be implemented into jazz. It should be the other way around.

[@drincmusic2769]

... classical music on sax is way too easy... I can sight read classical on sax... the really hard stuff is actually jazz... especially charlie parker tunes.

[@jiovancatlin2884]

Dude on the soprano is a monster!

[@mariorgrossi]

yap

[@darrenmorales3885]

But around half of his notes are ghost notes. They can pass on as real notes but aren’t given full tone value. Meaning, they are heard, but barely and it gives the illusion of many notes being played but it’s all ghost notes. Classical music is notoriously famous for this type of playing

Sopranos as violins, alto sax as violas, tenor sax as violoncelos and baritono sax as contrabass. Very good!

[@xanyeeast]

Not so much as the cello and bass parts would be out of their range for alot of the notes

[@AvGeekW159]

Cello and bass had the same part at this point in time. Sop = Vln 1, Alto = Vln 2, Tenor = Vla, Bari = Cello

[@2012tupi]

Baritones as Cellos, because the lowest note on both of them is a C2. The Tenor is right in the middle between a Cello and a Viola, since it's lowest note is a Ab2.
